    <pre> We've been looking into these kinds of scanners ourselves.

    Minolta (www.minoltausa.com) has two models:

    PS3000 - 400 dpi, 11 x 17 bound scanner w/ a greyscale option PS7000 - 600 dpi, 17 x 23 bound scanner - bitonal

    There is also the Bookeye scanner which is similar to Minolta's PS3000.
    (www.bookeye.com)

    Zeutschel also sells book scanners and has 5 or 6 different models including color. (http://www.zeutschel.com/)

    Generally, the cost starts at $20,000 for the base end models and moves quickly up depending on feature.
